Description

Appellant was convicted by a jury in the United States District Court for the Southern District of California of fifteen counts of interstate transportation of counterfeited securities in violation of 18 U.S.C. ? 2314 (1958). Jurisdiction of this court is based on 28 U.S.C. ? 1291 (1958). The issues presented by this appeal are: (1) Did the trial court err in instructing the jury on the defense of coercion; (2) was the concluding portion of the trial erroneously conducted in appellants absence; (3) were the prosecutors remarks in argument referring to the conviction of other members of the "ring" prejudicial; (4) was testimony of the wife of one of appellants accomplices as to threats made to her by appellant properly admitted; and (5) did the court properly admit evidence of other instances of passing counterfeit checks?
